01:021:012 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy
sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that
Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall
thy seed be called.
01:021:013 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
because he is thy seed.
01:021:014 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread,
and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her
shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and
wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
01:021:015 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the
child under one of the shrubs.
01:021:016 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way
off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of
the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and
wept.
01:021:017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God
called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee,
Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
01:021:018 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I
will make him a great nation.
01:021:019 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and
she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
01:021:020 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer.
01:021:021 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took
him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
01:021:022 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol
the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with
thee in all that thou doest:
01:021:023 Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not
deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but
according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do
unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
01:021:024 And Abraham said, I will swear.
01:021:025 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water,
which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
01:021:026 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing;
neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
01:021:027 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto
Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
01:021:028 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
01:021:029 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe
lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
01:021:030 And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my
hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
01:021:031 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they
sware both of them.
01:021:032 Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose
up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into
the land of the Philistines.
